No compassion.
No love.
No sympathy.
No empathy.
The human race has lost all feeling.
Their hearts have hardened like rocks.
Their eyes have shut.
Their ears have been sealed.
No souls with a wish to taste truth.
No inclination to be fair.
‘Money over everything,’ they say.
Consumerism has got their morals twisted.
What about the Syrian child with no home?
What about the Palestinian woman with no family?
What of the bombs?
WHAT OF THE PAIN?
WHAT OF JUSTICE?
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?!
Or does it only matter when it involves us?
What of poverty?
What of occupation?
What of the unshed tears of a father without any more children?
How many times must we ask before your emotions come to the surface?
Have you ever thought that maybe WE are the reason the world is like this?
Not the government.
Not ‘the other.’
US.
YOU.
YOUR SILENCE.
Is worse than the gun that shot those children.
Forget money. Where are the tears?
Where are even the slightest feelings, the slightest empathy towards you fellow humans?
WHERE?
How many time must I ask…
Before I get an answer.
You are dead. All of you.
You may be breathing.
But your hearts must be empty.
For you to forget so easily.
If you don’t believe me.
Then.
PROVE. ME. WRONG.
